Comments on: Running USA “honorable mention” http://www.scottjurek.com/blog/2007/12/19/running-usa-honorable-mention/ On and off the trails with Scott Jurek Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:57:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Barefoot Ted http://www.scottjurek.com/blog/2007/12/19/running-usa-honorable-mention/comment-page-1/#comment-229 Barefoot Ted Sat, 22 Dec 2007 15:22:10 +0000 http://www.scottjurek.com/blog/2007/12/19/running-usa-honorable-mention/#comment-229 If we are incarnated, we are by definition a muggle; however, we can aspire to be gods, and, at times, attain amazing heights, some much more than others, but in the end, there is a end, and with that, we all are equal. For those who inspire us to test our own limits and push our own boundaries, to them honor is certainly deserved, and should be given, and yes, even a kind of immortality is touched and passed into the future with great success in great deeds. So, yes, I would say your implication was unclear. Where do you get off on directly addressing a god? :-) BFT If we are incarnated, we are by definition a muggle; however, we can aspire to be gods, and, at times, attain amazing heights, some much more than others, but in the end, there is a end, and with that, we all are equal.

So, yes, I would say your implication was unclear. Where do you get off on directly addressing a god? :-)

I was suggesting that Scott certainly doesn't qualify. Then again you're a far more accomplished runner than I am, so maybe Scott appears more mortal from your perspective.

Pwew. Everyone knows the correct term is monkeys. Or, as in the case above, morons, but I digress. BFT Yeah, us mortals? Pwew. Everyone knows the correct term is monkeys.
